Artwork: S. Kimball The CLIC Drive Beam The drive beam decelerates from 2.4 GeV to 0.24 GeV transferring energy to the main beam As the electrons decelerate, quadrupoles are needed every 1m to keep the beam focused The quadrupole strengths scale with the beam energy The CLIC accelerator length is ~42km so there are ~42,000 quadrupoles needed Quadrupole Tunability The nominal maximum integrated gradient is 12.2T and the minimum is 1.22T For operational flexibility each individual quadrupole must operate over a wide tuning range 70% to 120% at high energy (2.4 GeV) 7% to 40% at low energy (0.24 GeV) 12.2 T 1.22 T Quadrupole Specification ParameterHigh-energy endLow-energy endUnits Number of quadrupoles41400 Strength T Stability5x10 -4 Integrated gradient quality0.1% Good field region11.5mm Minimum bore radius13mm Maximum width391mm Maximum height391mm Maximum length270mm Permanent Magnet Option The integrated magnet strength requirement is very challenging (given the space constraints) for a conventional electromagnet The nominal power consumption for the EM version will be ~8 MW in nominal mode and up to ~17 MW in tune-up mode Total Power Load limit to air within the tunnel is only 150 W/m (all components) A PM quad would potentially have many advantages Vastly reduced electrical power Very low operating costs No cooling water needs Very low power to air We have been investigating the PM option for the drive beam Permanent Magnet Challenges There are many existing PM quadrupole examples The combination of high strength, large tunability, high field quality, and restricted volume meant that a new design was required Additional challenges for PM include possible radiation damage, field variation with temperature, PM strength variation from block to block (material and engineering tolerances) The complete tuning range (120% to 7%) could not be met by a single design We have broken the problem down into two magnet designs one high energy and one low energy Quadrupole Types High energy quad Gradient very high Low energy quad Very large dynamic range Erik Adli & Daniel Siemaszko Low Energy Quad High Energy Quad NdFeB magnets with B r = 1.37 T (VACODYM 764 TP) 4 permanent magnet blocks each 18 x 100 x 230 mm Mounted at optimum angle of 40 Max gradient = 60.4 T/m (stroke = 0 mm) Min gradient = 15.0 T/m (stroke = 64 mm) Pole gap = 27.2 mm Field quality = 0.1% over 23 mm Stroke = 64 mm Poles are permanently fixed in place High Energy Quad Design Stroke = 0 mm High Energy Quad Animation Engineering of High Energy Quad Single axis motion with one motor and two ballscrews Two linear encoders to check position on both sides with 1 m accuracy Maximum force is 16.4 kN per side, reduces by x10 when stroke = 64 mm PM blocks bonded to steel bridge piece and protective steel plate also bonded Steel straps added as extra security Very tight space constraints Norbert Collomb Assembled Prototype Measured Gradient Measured Integrated Gradient Measured Field Quality Magnet Centre Movement The magnet centre moves upwards by ~100 m as the permanent magnets are moved away 3D modelling suggests this is due to the rails being ferromagnetic ( r ~ 100, measured) and not mounted symmetrically about the midplane should be easy to fix Motor/gearbox assembly may also be a contributing factor Low Energy Quad Design Lower strength easier but requires much larger tunability range (x10) Outer shell short circuits magnetic flux to reduce quad strength rapidly NdFeB magnets with B r = 1.37 T (VACODYM 764 TP) 2 permanent magnet blocks are 37.2 x 70 x 190 mm Max gradient = 43.4 T/m (stroke = 0 mm) Min gradient = 3.5 T/m (stroke = 75 mm) Pole gap = 27.6 mm Field quality = 0.1% over 23 mm Stroke = 0 mm Stroke = 75 mm Poles and outer shell are permanently fixed in place. Low Energy Quad Animation Engineering of Low Energy Quad Simplified single axis motion with one motor and one ballscrew Two linear encoders to check position on both sides with 1 m accuracy Maximum force is only 0.7 kN per side PM blocks bonded within aluminium support frame Assembly at Daresbury Low Energy Quad assembled Next: PM dipoles STFC-CERN work package from April 2014: investigate PM dipoles for: Drive Beam Turn Around Loop (DB TAL) Main Beam Ring to Main Linac (MB RTML) Total power consumed by both types: 15 MW Reduced-length DB TAL prototype to be constructed by Dec 2015 TypeQuantityLength (m) Strength (T) Pole Gap (mm) Good Field Region (mm) Field Quality Range (%) MB RTML x 201 x 10 DB TAL x 401 x 100 Summary The CLIC Drive Beam quadrupoles are rather challenging magnets because of their high strength and tight space constraints PM driven quads have many advantages in terms of operating costs, infrastructure requirements, and power load in the tunnel We have shown that only two PM designs are required to cover the entire range of gradients required The high energy quad has been prototyped and measured and found to successfully generate the expected integrated gradient The magnetic centre moves vertically as the gradient is adjusted and modelling suggests this is due to non-symmetric ferromagnetic rails Further tests will be made to confirm this The low energy quad has been designed and assembly of the prototype is almost complete at Daresbury It will undergo a similar set of magnetic tests at Daresbury and then CERN Acknowledgments Daresbury Laboratory team Magnet design: Ben Shepherd, Jim Clarke, Neil Marks Mechanical design: Norbert Collomb, James Richmond, Graham Stokes CERN team Project lead: Michele Modena Magnet measurements: Antonio Bartalesi, Mike Struik, Marco Buzio, Samira Kasaei Supporting cast: Alexandre Samochkine, Dmitry Gudkov, Evgeny Solodko, Alexander Aloev, Alexey Vorozhtsov, Guido Sterbini Artwork: J.
